Tampa Fire Rescue's Hazardous Materials Team responded to the scene and evacuated the building's first floor after two workers complained of nausea and dizziness after smelling a licorice type of odor coming from a package.
One of the sickened employees was taken to the hospital, where he is listed in stable condition.
The postal service says it appears grease leaking from a package was the culprit, but offered no further details. Officials ruled the substance was not hazardous and ended the evacuation.
The post office is located at 3501 Bessie Coleman Boulevard, just off the approach to Tampa International Airport. Officials say no air travel was affected by the incident.
